US businesswoman hunts down thief in Piccadilly Gardens after he broke into her hotel room - and finds him wearing her trainers
A thief was caught wearing the trainers he’d stolen from a hotel guest, along with her handbag, passport and MacBook Pro. Sindiso Ncube, 25, sneaked into the Edwardian Hotel in Manchester city centre and hopped into a lift to the ninth floor.
Prosecutor William Staunton said. “He became quite aggressive towards them. He brazenly sought to claim the property was his and said: 'get off, that’s mine'. He was said to have previous convictions for ‘walk-in’ thefts. The prosecutor said there was a degree of planning, in that he had gone to the hotel with no legitimate reason to do so.
He added that Ncube had been an economics student at Leeds university but experienced ‘something of a sad demise’ after becoming addicted to cocaine. He left his course after two years and has since found himself before the courts, he said.
